ABSTRACT
Background and purpose:Epithelial ovarian cancer has the highest mortality rate of gynecologic cancers and overall survival rates have improved little in the last 20 to 30 years. CXXC ifnger protein 5 (CXXC5) plays an important role in AML (acute myeloid leukemia) and MDS (myelodysplasia). However, little is known about its clinical signiifcance and biological function in epithelial ovarian cancer. This study aimed to investigate the expression of the CXXC5 in ovarian cancer and the effect of the CXXC5 on ES-2 cell proliferation. Methods:①The alteration of CXXC5 in cancer genomics data of TCGA (Cancer Genome Atlas) was analyzed.②The CXXC5 protein in the tissue chips was detected containing 37 benign ovarian cyst and 173 malignant tumor samples. The relationship between the expression of the CXXC5 with the clinicopathological features of patients with ovarian cancer was analyzed by SPSS software;③The cells with the highest CXXC5 expression quantity from 5 ovarian cancer cells were selected by re-al-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blot.④ES-2 cells with shRNA stable transfection were construted us-ing the strategy of lentivirus infection and analyzed cell proliferation by cell counting kit-8(CCK8). Results:①Through the TCGA database, CXXC5 ampliifcation was found in 7 of 563 cases.②The CXXC5 expression in ovarian malignant carcinoma (39.3%) was higher than that in benign ovarian cyst (13.5%, P=0.003), the histologic type was highly asso-ciated with CXXC5 (43%in serous, 22.9%in mucinous, 23.5%in endometrioid, 67%in clear cell, P=0.014) and there was a signiifcant correlation between CXXC5 and lymph node metastasis (positive vs negative, P=0.022).③The ES-2 cells with shRNA stable transfection had a growth disadvantage (P<0.05). Conclusion:The CXXC5 gene might have an advantage in proliferation of epithelial ovarian carcinoma and be expected to become the biomarker of poor prognosis.
ABSTRACT
Purpose To investigate the protein expression of p53 and E-cadherin in gastric adenocarcinoma and the effects of them and the clinicopathological parameters on prognosis of patients.Methods Expression of p53,E-cadherin in 150 cases of gastric adenocarcinoma was detected by tissue microarray and immunohistochemistry.The effects of them and the clinicopathological parameters on the prognosis of patients were studied by Kaplan-Meier method to calculate and compare the cumulative survival rate and postoperative mean survival time.Multivariate analysis was also performed by COX regression.Results The positive rate of p53 and E-cadherin expression in 150 cases of gastric adenocarcinoma was 31.3% and 91.3%,respectively.74 cases were followed up, and the 1-,3-,and 5-year survival rates were 83.8%,70.3% and 63.5%,respectively.The invasion, lymph node status and pTNM stages were prognostic factors;multivariate analysis revealed that p53,age and lymph node status were independent prognostic invasion, lymph node status and pTNM stages are important prognostic factors in gastric adenocarcinoma. Nevertheless, E-cadherin and histological classification are not prognostic factors.
